We had 94 runners registered, 83 starters, and 68 finishers, all records. The weather was PERFECT, starting at 40 degrees and finishing at 60 degrees. The trail was clear and dry, but soft from recent rains. The trails were blown clear by David Krekeler, and the blowdowns “allegedly” cleared by Bob Engel. The Cincinnati Park Board also cleared and improved the trails, and are the beneficiary of the Stone Steps 50k race.

The overall course record was lowered, for the FIFTH year in a row! David Riddle lowered his own course record by about four minutes. He also set a new 30-39 age group record with his increased maturity. Craig Wheeler demolished David Krekeler’s 50-59 age group record by 24 minutes, for his fifth place overall finish. Finally, Mark Calcatera lowered his own 60-69 age group record by 17 minutes.
